Default Last traces of paint removal

I had a couple of questions regarding the last bits of paint that is left in my razor/chemical stripping process. I still have most of the factory primer layer still on .

Can I sand off the last few bits of paint - even though I am almost down to the fiberglass? If so- what grit?

I used Citristrip stripper to loosen the original layer of paint and then took a razor blade to carefully remove the paint. On some of my strokes I actually removed the factory primer as well.
Should I go ahead and remove ALL of the factory primer and is this method a good way to do it (minus the gouges of course)?

Can we assume that you used hot water to neutralize the stripper followed by washing it down good with Acetone??

Just use some 180 Wet and Dry and wet sand the entire car down to bare glass.

I would use a DA (dual action) sander if you have access to one.
This will elimiate alot of manual labor.

Rent a compressor and buy you a $80 DA for the day.
